Access Control Systems in Dubai: Offices, Towers and Warehouses

Cards suit most doors, PIN keypads suit low-risk rooms, and fingerprint or face readers suit sensitive areas such as server rooms. Combining two methods on one door raises security. We recommend a mix after walking the doors.

A fail-safe lock opens when power is lost, which suits fire exit routes. A fail-secure lock stays locked, which suits store rooms and data rooms that still have a safe way out by handle or button. The choice is made door by door with your consultant.

Fire exits and access routes can fall under Dubai Civil Defence requirements, so check with the building consultant or the authority before fitting locks on exit doors. We plan the fire alarm release and exit hardware to suit what the consultant specifies.

Each reader and lock needs a cable run back to a controller, plus lock power, an exit button and, where required, a fire alarm release. A battery backup keeps doors working through short outages. We plan this before the fit-out closes the ceilings.

Often yes. The access log shows who entered and when, and many systems export it to time and attendance software. Tell us what you use and we check compatibility.

Yes. We survey the doors and frames, check what cabling exists and add readers and controllers door by door, so the building stays in use. Tenants should check landlord rules and community approvals first.
